[NEohioPAL] Cool Film Screening this Friday & Saturday (6/17 & 6/18)

[Zachary Levy]

Hello--

I wanted to let you all know that a feature documentary 
I've made will be screening this Friday & Saturday nights (6/17 and 
6/18) at the great Cleveland Cinematheque.

"Strongman" is the 
story of a professional strongman named Stanless Steel who is the only 
person in the world who can bend a penny with his fingers.  The film has
 been compared to everything from a real-life version of Fellini's La 
Strada to a Eugene O'Neil penned version of The Wrestler.

It's a 
film that artists of any kind-- whether actors, painters, musicians, 
writers or jugglers-- often seem to really relate to and find inspiring, and I 
would be thrilled of course if people from the NE Ohio arts scene make 
it out to the screenings.

I'm pasting more on the film below, but for a sense of it, the trailer is at www.strongmanfilm.com/trailer.html

Any help spreading the word would be wonderful too of course!

Many thanks,

Zach Levy
Director, Strongman
